From the Godfellas episode of Futurama:
"...Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch like a safecracker or a pickpocket... When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
The last sentence is also repeated when the end credits start...
God in the "Bruce Almighty" movie was a bit like that.
I believe I'm probably in a simulation and that there is an intelligent force. Though the supernatural is possible in Sims games,
"...I think all evidence of God can also explained by coincidence, delusion, or hallucinations..."
So atheists might say that the sightings of Jesus after his death were hallucinations... perhaps people saw a truly risen Jesus but my point is that the hallucination theory is plausible, at least to many atheists.
For me, my evidence for the existence of an intelligent force can be explained away by coincidence.
Hearing songs with seemingly supernatural significance
Here is a web page that compares all-or-nothing fundamentalism to all-or-nothing atheism to liberal theism - then adds the Bible to my theory.
